Great Attorney

I wish I had hired Lisa early in my divorce. My initial attorney screwed the case totally,but having Lisa on my side was like the best thing that I had done in the whole process.Both Lisa and Caitlin have been very proactive and responsive. Lisa helped me settle the case with the best possible share ...from my husband. Thanks and I would recommend Lisa to any or all who need a great and outstanding divorce attorney.

Simply Amazing!

The only regret I had about my experience with Attorney Ruggieri and her staff was that they were my second choice. I was referred to another attorney to handle my divorce and after multiple court appearances with no definitive results on custody and support after 17 months I realized we were gettin...g nowhere. I spent over $50,000 and even lost custody of my son. I knew I had to find another lawyer to handle my divorce. I found Attorney Ruggieri by reading her client reviews. She is simply amazing! After my first meeting with her, I was extremely confident in her approach and retained her services. In less than 72 hours, she had made two court appearances for me and my case was back on track. And, in just over a month, my divorce was finalized. I even obtained custody of my son back. Working with Lisa and her associate, Caitlin, was a pleasure. They are aggressive and achieve outstanding results. But more importantly they were focused on making sure the best interests of my child came first. I would highly recommend Attorney Ruggieri and her staff to anyone seeking a divorce.

Fantastic Lawyer!

When contemplating divorce, I asked several friends for the best divorce attorney in the area. The Law Office of Lisa Ruggieri came highly recommended. To say I was completely satisfied with the representation Lisa and her legal team provided throughout my divorce is an understatement. I am extreme...ly impressed by Lisa’s professionalism and clear knowledge of all aspects of family law. During the entire process, Lisa and her team kept an aggressive pace to negotiate and finalize my divorce. Lisa was candid and blunt about what to expect and explained issues in plain terms so that I could understand the financial and legal implications. I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Lisa Ruggieri for anyone seeking legal representation in a divorce or family law matter.

Rock Solid!

I came to Lisa after trying to work through a mediator for 2 full years - I can't believe I waited so long! Lisa affirmed my suspicions that I was not getting a fair settlement and too many loose ends would be left hanging. Lisa was the rock solid strength I needed, and the voice I didn't have for my...self. Despite the complexities of our divorce situation (side business, debt, child with special needs, etc.) Lisa and her magnificent team, including her fantastic assistant, Caitlin Ly, worked tirelessly and effectively to ultimately achieve a rapid outcome with the fairness I deserved. I am so grateful for all of Lisa's help, and so grateful that I can feel confident now in moving forward! Many, many thanks!

Excellent Divorce Attorney!!!

I consulted Lisa after I had already had a very unproductive result with a different lawyer at the pre-trial conference in Probate Court. She came highly recommended and is very organized and dedicated, very direct to the point and focused. She is well-prepared, very confident and very skilled and ...objective in her courtroom presentations. Outside of the court, she is a skilled negotiator and the legal settlement she negotiated for me was extremely equitable given my very difficult and contentious situation. Post-divorce she has continued to represent me in legal complaints filed against me and again the results have been excellent. I would recommend Lisa without hesitation to anyone who is looking for a well-qualified and skilled divorce attorney.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Atty Ruggieri practices divorce the way it should be practiced: because she is so knowledgeable of the nuances of the law and so familiar with the styles and priorities of the local courts, she can accomplish an efficient and effective outcome that is also responsive to her clients' personal and financial needs. She gives clients a clear roadmap of their case, follows the roadmap, and always returns their calls during the process. And when necessary, Lisa can take on a shark yet keep the blood off the table - an exceptional and rare skill for a divorce attorney."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Lisa Ruggeri is extremely well versed in family law and its many nuances including separation agreements, alimony and child support and the practical tax and business implications of dissolution of a marriage. She is also a skilled and experienced trial lawyer and that experience focuses for her client’s best interest on the real issues, not side issues, in a case. She also is skilled at using mediation and collaborative law approaches to these kinds of cases to achieve these goals without trial. I have had a number of opportunities to see her clients express appreciation for her efforts and help. Bob Flynn"
